If you’ve been putting off that mattress upgrade — sorry, we had to — Walmart just made it a whole lot easier to finally pull the trigger.
The Avenco Whisper 10” Queen Hybrid Mattress in a Box is priced at $150 right now, down from the regular price of $378. That’s roughly 60% off, with free shipping straight to your door. No truck rental, no white-glove delivery fee.
What You’re Actually Getting
This is a 10-inch queen-size hybrid mattress — which means it pairs two technologies most budget beds skip: gel memory foam for pressure relief and cooling comfort, plus pocket coils for responsive support and better airflow underneath. The medium-firm feel is the sweet spot for most sleepers: supportive enough to keep your spine in line, but not so stiff it feels like sleeping on a gym mat.
The gel layer matters especially in the South, where bedrooms stay warm even with the AC cranked. Foam-only mattresses trap body heat; the hybrid design lets air move through the coil layer all night. It’s a real feature at this price, not a marketing label.
And because it ships compressed in a box, setup is a one-person job. No scheduling a special delivery window, no maneuvering a queen-size slab around a hallway corner.
Who Should Buy This
A few situations where this deal makes a lot of sense:
- Guest bedrooms: You want something genuinely comfortable — not an air mattress — without spending $600 on a room that gets used a handful of times a year.
- College apartments and first homes: A real hybrid queen at $150 is a legitimately solid foundation for a bedroom setup. This isn’t a placeholder — it’s a keeper.
- Kids moving to a bigger bed: Medium-firm support is a great fit for kids and teens, and a queen gives them room to grow into it.
- Vacation rentals and secondary homes: Guests notice the difference between a decent mattress and a miserable one. Budget matters here, and this clears the bar comfortably.
How It Compares
At this price point, most options are basic single-layer foam — functional but not great for heat or long-term durability. Getting a hybrid at $150 is unusual. The regular price of $378 is already reasonable for the category; at $150, this is the kind of deal worth acting on today rather than bookmarking for later.
A Few Caveats
Mattresses in a box need time to fully decompress after unboxing, so plan ahead if you have a hard move-in date. There’s no listed expiration on this price, but steeply discounted Walmart items like this tend to sell through or quietly revert to regular pricing without warning. Waiting costs you.
Bottom Line
For $150 shipped, this is one of the best per-dollar mattress values available right now. If you need a queen-size bed that actually sleeps well and doesn’t blow the budget — for a guest room, a first apartment, or a rental property — this is the move.
